Looks like the SJWs win again.

>When Airboy #2 was published, it caused a social media storm. The comic showed the creators, or rather depraved versions of themselved, tripping with a fictitious comic book character and engaging in a variety of sexually debauched fashions.

>Including a trip to a bar frequented by drag performers. The comic was criticised for using them as cynical plot devices to be used, to have sex with, to be outraged by, without having any particular motivation of their own. And some unfortunate choices of language, especially James Robinson’s use of the word “tranny” more in the UK for “transvestite” than the US use of the term for “transexual”.

>Well, with the hardcover out last week – the motivations may remain unchanged but some of the language has been modified.

>Dropping the “not girls”…

Why do we go out of our way to appease a group of people that make up less than one half of one percent of the population? They're all gonna end up killing themselves regardless.

>It is almost never when a state of things is the most detestable that it is smashed, but when, beginning to improve, it permits men to breathe, to reflect, to communicate their thoughts with each other, and to gauge by what they already have the extent of their rights and their grievances. The weight, although less heavy, seems then all the more unbearable.
From de Tocqueville. In other words, freedom can be its own worst enemy. We're so spoiled that even the smallest incongruities (which bathroom do I have to pee in?) seem monumental.

Now it'll be a big hit with the tranny markey. Let's bowdlerize everything.

I read the first two volumes. Chuck Dixon writes great adventure yarns, and the art by Timothy Truman was stellar.

So let me get this sequence of events down: James Robinson decides to Grant Morrison, includes kinky shit in comic, pisses off internet, removes 'offensive' parts for collected edition?

I was actually planning on buying the hardcover but I've lost interest.

I would rather have it how it was originally published

How the might have fallen.

for what purpose
how many trannies even read this, I doubt it's more than 10

Is the comic itself good? I don't give two shits either way about the rewrites, but I do like most of James Robinson's work.

It's OK, there's better autobio comics out there.

How? It was Robinson's decision. No one held a gun to his head and forced him to change anything.

Literally nothing wrong with saying that transvestites/drag queens are men. They're just crossdressers.

Fuck off, tumblr. Nobody wants you here.

>>82450112

Yeah, there's a difference between a transvestite and a trans woman. a transvestite is a dude that feels entirely like a dude but likes to dress like a woman. A trans woman is someone who feels like a woman but was born in the body of a man.

Aaaaaaaaaand another vote for Trump

eh, I feel like I could have read either version without knowledge of the other and be perfectly content. Knowing that it was revised after complaints makes it a lot harder to stomach.

Fuck you.

It feels like a cop out everytime, try to please everyone, but mind you, i will never buy such book and i had every intent to.
